Simplified prediction of postoperative cardiac surgery outcomes with a novel score: R2CHADS2
Conclusion The R2CHADS2 score estimates postoperative events with acceptable accuracy and if further validated may be used as a simple preoperative risk tool calculator.

Radial versus Femoral Access for Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome undergoing Coronary Angiography and Intervention: Insights from the RIVAL Trial
Conclusions Consistent with the overall RIVAL trial population, elderly patients undergoing cardiac catheterization have lower rates of major bleeding or access site complications and higher rates of access site crossover with radial access compared to femoral access.

Rationale and Design of the Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation (FAME) 3 Trial: A Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Patients with Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
Conclusion The FAME 3 study will compare in a multicenter, randomized fashion FFR-guided PCI with contemporary drug-eluting stents to CABG in patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease.

Impact of prasugrel pretreatment and timing of coronary artery bypass grafting on clinical outcomes of patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: from the ACCOAST study
Conclusions In ACCOAST, early (<2.98 days) surgical revascularization carried increased risk of bleeding and ischemic complications without affecting all-cause mortality through 30 days. Baseline troponin and prasugrel pretreatment did not impact ischemic clinical outcomes.

Ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome: A retrospective analysis from the Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes (PLATO) Trial
Conclusions We observed consistency of effects in Asian patients receiving ticagrelor and clopidogrel in the PLATO study. The relatively modest number of Asian patients in this analysis supports further investigation of larger cohorts to confirm our observations.

Off-hour admission and outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions
Conclusions Patients who were admitted during off-hours did not have higher mortality or readmission rates as compared with ones admitted during regular hours at an academic medical center.

Clinical outcomes of hybrid coronary revascularization versus coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus
Background: Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) involves minimally invasive left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery grafting combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of non–left anterior descending vessels. The safety and efficacy of HCR among diabetic patients are unknown.Methods: Patients with diabetes were included who underwent HCR at a US academic center between October 2003 and September 2013. These patients were matched 1:5 to similar patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a propensity score (PS)-matching algorithm. Conditional logistic...

Extent of coronary artery disease and outcomes after ticagrelor administration in patients with an acute coronary syndrome: Insights from the PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes (PLATO) trial
Background: Extensive coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with higher risk. In this substudy of the PLATO trial, we examined the effects of randomized treatment on outcome events and safety in relation to the extent of CAD.Methods: Patients were classified according to presence of extensive CAD (defined as 3-vessel disease, left main disease, or prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery). The trial's primary and secondary end points were compared using Cox proportional hazards regression.Results: Among 15,388 study patients for whom the extent of CAD was known, 4,646 (30%) had extensive CAD. Patients with extensiv...

Clinical outcomes after hybrid coronary revascularization versus coronary artery bypass surgery: a meta-analysis of 1,190 patients
Conclusions: Hybrid coronary revascularization is associated with lower morbidity and similar in-hospital and 1-year major adverse cerebrovascular or cardiac events rates, but greater requirement for repeat revascularization compared with CABG. Further exploration of this strategy with adequately powered randomized trials is warranted.

Response to letter by Messeri et al
We thank Dr Messeri and colleagues for their interest in our network meta-analysis on the risk of stroke in patients treated with on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), off-pump CABG, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which builds upon a prior comprehensive pairwise analysis on the same topic. The crude event rates by simple pooling of data are 148/10,957 (1.4%) for 79 studies of on-pump CABG, 72/7,119 (1.0%) for 70 studies of off-pump CABG, and 15/4,653 (0.3%) for 17 studies of PCI. From a Bayesian binomial random-effect model, the absolute risk estimate for stroke was 1.4% in patients treated with on-pu...

Effect of ticagrelor on the outcomes of patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Insights from the PLATelet inhibition and patient outcomes (PLATO) trial
Conclusions: Prior-CABG patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome are a high-risk cohort for death and recurrent cardiovascular events but have a lower risk for major bleeding. Similar to the results in no-prior-CABG patients, ticagrelor was associated with a reduction in ischemic events without an increase in major bleeding.
